The parking meter supplier that the city of Portland has contracted with for many years has named a new president of its United States operations.

Portland's former parking manager Ellis K. McCoy has pleaded not guilty in U.S. District Court in Portland to a one-count federal indictment of accepting bribes, gifts and travel while steering multimillion dollar city contracts to Cale Parking Systems USA Inc.

Today, the Sweden based- Cale Group announced it has created a new subsidiary called Cale America, and named a new president of its U.S. operations, Edward Olender, who previously served as president of Cale Systems Inc. Canada.

Last month, Levey's lawyer said Levey had not been charged with a crime and defended Cale's services to the city of Portland.
